New York in 27 Buildings with Sam Roberts & Alexandra Lange

Can the bricks, glass, wood, and mortar of our city’s most emblematic buildings reveal how and why New York City has become the modern global metropolis we know today?

They’ll share the stories behind our city’s most transformative structures from architectural icons like the Empire State Building to lesser-known sites such as the city’s oldest continuously operating theater and the building where the Founding Fathers added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution.
